Rob Valent, Chairman of the FHI Industrial Automation sector, answers five questions and explains why WoTS 2026 is the meeting place where technology goes beyond brochures and presentations. \u201cHere, technology truly comes to life.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What makes WoTS the place where technology and science come together?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Rob Valent, the strength of WoTS lies in the unique combination of people who meet on the exhibition floor. Engineers, scientists, suppliers, end-users, and students come together not only to talk about products, but above all about applications and practical experiences. \u201cIt is about the societal and industrial challenges for which we must find solutions together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough my international work, I see many technological developments pass by. What makes the WoTS special is that it brings all these developments together in one central place and translates them to the Dutch industry. There, you can see, touch, and discuss innovations with the people who developed them or are applying them in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which innovation or activity surprises you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Valent points without hesitation to the <a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/wots\/studenten-innovatie-paviljoen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Student Innovation Pavilion<\/a>. \u201cStudent teams demonstrate there how they are working on practical solutions for sustainability, electrification, and the energy transition, among other things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What appeals to him most is the interaction between young talent and the business world. \u201cInnovation does not come exclusively from established technology companies. It is precisely the combination of experience from the business world and the uninhibited creativity of students that can lead to surprising new solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does WoTS connect companies, professionals, and students?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a time when many interactions take place digitally, personal contact remains indispensable, according to Valent. \u201cFor me, the strength of WoTS lies primarily in the personal meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompanies meet potential customers, partners, and employees there. Professionals exchange knowledge with peers. Students, in turn, gain a concrete picture of career opportunities within technology.\u201d That is very important, he emphasizes: \u201cThe technology sector faces a major challenge regarding the availability of technical talent. WoTS can help students and young professionals see how versatile, international, and socially relevant a career in technology is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which trends are you seeing this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Artificial Intelligence remains an important theme, but the focus is shifting. \u201cAttention is increasingly moving towards the question of how we can deploy AI responsibly and practically within industrial processes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Valent expects significant attention for digitalization, IT\/OT integration, cybersecurity, industrial networks, robotics, and smart manufacturing. \u201cThese topics are closely interconnected. Companies want to make their production processes smarter, more flexible, and more efficient, but at the same time, they must ensure reliable, secure, and manageable systems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What should visitors absolutely not miss?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Valent\u2019s advice is clear: \u201cplan your visit, but leave room for surprise. Visit live demonstrations, knowledge sessions, the Student Innovation Pavilion and the submissions for the <a href=\"https:\/\/fhi.nl\/en\/nieuws\/high-tech-trophy-stem-mee-op-de-meest-bijzondere-technologische-innovatie-van-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">High Tech Trophy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But above all: \u201cstart the conversation. Ask not only what a technology can do, but especially what problem it solves and what results have been achieved with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His conclusion perfectly summarizes why a visit to the World of Industry is worthwhile: \u201cThe value of WoTS is determined not only by what you see, but above all by the knowledge, ideas, and new contacts you take home afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a
